iFixIt

Google's Project Tango has become the subject of the latest iFixit teardown. We like seeing these teardowns as they generally offer a view that most users will never get to see -- the inner guts. But in the case of Project Tango that is especially true as this is a prototype device. Or in other words, a device many will never see in the wild at all.

The folks at iFixit are back with another device teardown. This latest is for the Samsung Galaxy S5, a device we are currently taking a look at ourselves. Except in our case, we certainly aren't going to be cracking it open. That last thought rings especially true after seeing the assigned repairability score -- a 5 out of 10.

We've seen a few device teardowns from iFixit in recent weeks. They provided a look inside the HTC One (M8) back in late-March, and then the Amazon Fire TV teardown arrived earlier this month. The latest, which is for the Samsung Gear 2 has recently been shared. We aren't sure how many people would be wiling to do any home repair on this particular wearable, but it seems this smartwatch is fairly easy to take apart.

The Amazon Fire TV was announced earlier this week and the folks at iFixit have returned with another teardown. They gave the set-top box a score of 6 out of 10 in terms of repairability, however we suspect there will not be many attempting to fix this $99 media and game player by themselves. Instead these teardowns offer a look that most will likely never see otherwise. They sometimes also reveal some interesting little details.

As we often see following major device announcements, the iFixit crew comes in with a teardown. Having said that, the latest has been shared, and yes, this one is giving everyone a look at the insides of the newly announced HTC One (M8). Or maybe more accurate for the overall picture here, the iFixit crew is offering a look at how to properly take the HTC One (M8) apart.

The Nexus 5 has been the center of attention lately. Thankfully, we are on the side of official chatter as opposed to the rumors and as such, the folks at iFixit have recently shared their Nexus 5 teardown. This time around we are seeing a 15-step process that ultimately resulted in a repairability score of 8 out of 10. Perhaps more important, this teardown also confirmed some earlier rumors.

As they do so often, iFixIt has presented us with another of their delightful teardowns. This time around, they pull apart the 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX, and reveal exactly what it’s cracked up to be, and then some. Though it’s solidly built, there are a few issues that would prevent even some skilled tinkerers from taking one apart.

With their self-professed love of the burning element, the folks over at iFixit had a blast playing with fire. The new Amazon Kindle Fire HD, that is. A look inside Amazon's refresh of the venerable e-reader-slash-tablet device reveals what makes it tick and how easy it will be to put out the flames of a damaged unit.

The new smartphone from Google you all know as the Moto X has been making of lot of noise lately. The device is finally hitting AT&T today, and other carriers this weekend, and those folks from iFixit already broke one down into tons of little pieces. As usual the teardown gives us a look inside the device, how it was built, and a repair-ability rating.

We recently reviewed the NVIDIA SHIELD and while we took a rather thorough look at the system itself as well as what it is capable of doing in terms of gaming there was something we couldn't do -- open it up and take a look at the interior guts. Thankfully though, there was another group willing to do just that. That group is the familiar iFixit and they have recently opened up the SHIELD.
